August 6, 2011, 8pm-RJD2

Grand master MC, RJD2, will be taking the Theatre stage to throw what could potentially be the best “house” experience to date.

Originally from Eugene, Ore., RJD2 has been a successful soldier in the battle of electronic relevance. Having a professional career on the 1s and 2s that exceeds a decade has landed him on the map permanently.

He was first signed with record label, Definitive Jux, and began working with many prominent rappers.

In 2009, RJD2 decided it was time to break ground on his own label called RJ’s Electrical Collection and further his master plan.

Just last year RJ released a new full length album titled The Colossus.

Just do it.

RJD2-”Let There Be Horns”

RJD2-Small Plans

Joining RJ will be ArtOfficial and Gramatik.

ArtOfficial has been described as a sound that translates as The Roots with jazz flare and Soulive with a harder edge.

ArtOfficial has shared the stage with a variety of artists ranging from KRS-One, The Sugarhill Gang, Pharaoh Monch, and Buckshot to Andy Smith of Portishead and N.E.R.D.

Gramatik caught his auditory buzz at age 3 and has stopped at nothing to remain intoxicated.

Gramatik is now known in electronic and hip-hop circles around the globe, touring with the likes of Pretty Lights, The Glitch Mob, Mimosa, Two Fresh and many others.

Piggyback these two acts with RJD2 and shit is going to go down.

I feel for the cleaning crew….

Rage.

ArtOfficial-”Big City Bright Lights”

Gramatik-”Just Jammin”
